Phase angle transducers provide a signal which is linearly proportional to the phase angle between a voltage and a current in a power system. This type of transducer is often called a power factor transducer, which is technically incorrect as power factor is proportional to the cosine of the phase angle and as such is non linear. 1, record 1, English, - phase%20angle%20transducer
